In case you guys were wondering if these documentaries were made by a team of people, or if I had hired narrators or other team members as the channel has grown - there's a sneaky mistake thrown in this video that shows I still am just one person doing all of the researching, writing, narrating and producing, and only human 😄

Thanks for watching guys! Please don’t forget to like and subscribe and let me know what you’d like to see covered in the future in the comments!

Ridiculously good quality videos 👍 better than tv documentaries

[MSG]

This is better than any documentary on tv, the narration, the structuring, the visual. You guys are absolutely amazing.

Fantastic find! At 78, my dream of knowledge of an
ancient history education
is here in a "crash course"!
Thank you!

[nathanscarlett]

My dude, two uploads within the span of less than a week, thank you!

11:11 Roman historian: "This is bad year. It shall forever be known as TITLE TEXT HERE." Never speak of this year again.

[NyQuilable]

I just listened to part one and two through podcast form. Was honestly shocked how a small channel could put out such quality content. Keep up the good work, you will be up there with the greats one day.

[elihobson]

Absolutely my favorite channel on YouTube. Just wanted to offer my thanks and appreciation. Genuinely informative and interesting, as well as being approachable to people of various levels of education. If I weren't another broke student, I would gladly contribute regularly. As it is, when finances allow, I do what I can, and I encourage others to do the same.

Cheers!

This is such a fantastic piece, I had no idea we knew so much information about the movement of the German tribes during this period of Roman decline and hun advancement. Thanks for spending so much time on it.

[atomicreaper]

History time is my favorite channel to consume history, the narrator has a calming voice and this channel has many videos in which I have an interest in, the vikings, the many Germanic tribes, england before, during and after Rome. Please continue to make videos and I will continue to watch them.

[deltadesign]

Wife and I love your videos! So in depth & clearly much research done. I applaud you brother. Hard to imagine youre a one man band! Excellent work! Big thanks!

[ryanmurphy]

You had to put this up right as I'm studying for finals

The amount of times the Roman Elite betrayed and slaughtered other leaders who surrendered to them, is pretty disgusting. I wonder how different history would’ve been, if Boudicca’s revolt was as effective as the one again Valens....

[Ladybug-ufuh]

Just happened to be reading some history about this time period. Really helped to visualize what the Goths were up against with the Huns. The Romans were, predictably, so arrogant and made so many stupid mistakes. Over the centuries, people have pretty much stayed the same, unfortunately. Thank you for your narrative and upload.

[julianratering]

Such a great documentary with great visuals! This is high quality and in depth analysis, as a history student I love this!
If I may give one bit of advice, maybe put the volume of your voice a higher, it might sound a bit better :D
Keep up the amazing work, I will spread your videos around faculty and friends :)

the shadow here 3:53 is a true and accurate depiction of a recurve bow

[christopherfernandes]

This was fantastic. Watched every minute of this well researched and put together.

[BTD]

Really love your channel man it's it's perfect background to a total war playthrough haha

2 years later and the fans of History Time wait for Theodosius follow up, maybe one day

[derrengui]

Great video, I'm fascinated by the Germanic tribes, as a Spaniard I'm interested in the Visigoths but I find the anglo-saxons even more interesting.
Great great video as always
